title: Novel 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium antagonists. I. Synthesis and hypotensive activity of 4-(substituted pyridyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives.
abstract: A series of 4-(substituted pyridyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives were synthesized and their hypotensive effects examined. Several compounds, 2-(N-benzyl-N-methylamino)ethyl methyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitro-2-pyridyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate (2b), its 4-(4-nitro-2-pyridyl) analogue (2g), 4-(3-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridyl) analogue (2c), 4-(2-trifluoromethyl-3-pyridyl) analogue (3e), 4-(4-cyano-2-pyridyl) analogue (2e), 4-(2-cyano-3-pyridyl) analogue (3d), and 4-(6-bromo-2-pyridyl) analogue (2i), were found to have a hypotensive activity parallel to that of nicardipine; 2c and 3e, in particular, had approximately twice the duration of nicardipine, and 2e had the most potent hypotensive activity of all the derivatives synthesized.
